DT 3148 – Salute to Sandy by Dale Evans Rogers.
Narrated by Ann Morrison. Monitored by Vic Rogers and Jack Gazzale.
Sandy was a battered child before being adopted by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. He fought an uphill battle and while serving with the Army in Germany, he made a mistake and paid for it with his life. This is his story, but also the story of all the younger generation whose bravery and idealism in the face of handicaps, danger, and death are the strength and hope of the future.

Texas Guns by Leslie Ernenwein
DT 6986 – Texas Guns by Leslie Ernenwein.
Narrated by: Paul Klemperer. Monitored by: Lionel Jacobs, Janice Jones, and Brit Jones.
“You can call me killer, gents… But don’t forget the ’Mister’!” That was Jim Rimbow’s challenge as he rode into the helltown he’d sworn to tame–a border-jumping, man-killing starbuster with a dying lawman on his backtrail. But Rimbow was gunning for more than glory. Rawhide tough and lawless, he meant to brace the range bawd whose kiss had killed his best friend.
1956.
